Probably already posted before. But the Pikachu in the trailer was situated on top of what seemed like the Eiffel Tower and when zooming out to view the world, it was clear that it was in France or at least Europe.
I also noticed a signpost with the number 3 on it in one of the towns. Route numbering? Seems odd though.

Yeah, if its correlation to the real world is any indication, this region will probably be far away from Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh and Unova (although probably closer to Unova). So they'll probably reset the route numbers again.

That could work... Was BW based on New York or just New York City? If it was just New York City then maybe this games is just based on Paris.

Unova was mainly based on the city, but parts of it were based on surrounding areas. Some of the cities in Northwest Unova are based on cities in New Jersey (Driftveil is based on Elizabeth, Mistralton is based on Newark), and Southeast Unova is based on Long Island. I think, though, that they can take some liberties with this region. Even if it is just based on Paris, they can probably have some sort of snowy mountain area based on the Alps, for example.

Actually, they stated that that's exactly what they do. IDK what the connection to RGBY's theme is, but it's there (can someone please clear this up for me? I've never been quite clear on any of them except BW).

If you look at the Japaneese logos, you can see the chromosomes.

I doubt we'll get anything new in corocoro, they'll probably reveal the same thing. We may get a new screenshot or two, but thats about it.

This region is probably based on France since it has an eifel tower. I wonder if we'll have an area with snow in this game.

France is an extremely cold place at times, there's no doubt in my mind that there will be snow. Actually, I believe we will get a desert in this game, but it will be a barren snow wasteland type of area, a desert is defined as a place deprived of water, Antarctica for instance is considered a desert.

This seems like it could be a desert-like place (Serebii even captioned it as a desert).

Going purely off of logic and not the geography of what we've seen, I feel like this region will be based off of Europe as a whole and not just France. I see no reason why they would have randomly chosen France to make an entire region out of - the Japanese islands makes sense because the series is Japanese based, New York makes sense because of how many American players they are (and I guess because Nintendo World is there), but setting a game in France seems kind of random. If it were all of Europe, that would make more logical sense and would allow for a lot more diversity.

YOU JUST LOST THE GAME

AND LIFE ITSELF.

France would make sense, coz Masuda visited it recently, just like he visited nyc before bw. Also, there r many poke players in france, thats why they also have french name for the pokes.

The thing about setting a game in the entirety of the European continent, though, is... well, it's too big. Heck, even just the country of France is pretty freaking huge compared to the other areas we've been in; it's hundreds of times bigger than the other regions we've been to, which have been based on small parts of a single country.

We'll probably see the new region based off only a small portion of France, not the whole country.

Or maybe the cities can be based on the most well known cities in Europe. For example there could be a London themed city, a Paris themed one etc.........

If it is based on Europe, I would love to see Iceland incorporated into it somehow. Imagine taking a boat to a city with northern lights at nighttime, with buildings like those of small Icelandic towns, and an abundance of interesting new ice and water types. Just an idea.

Isn't that based on some observatory in France, though?

but I'm not holding my breath for the region proper until February. I instead expect a lot of "^ EHHHH IS THAT A TOWER?!?!?" "UNPRECEDENTED 3D VIEWPOINT!!!!!"

Oh gosh, I can totally imagine that in a Japanese ad: "UNPRESSEDEN SURIIII DEEE VYEEEW POYN!!! EXTRUREEEMU!"
